DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 65
Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Preparedness and
Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed below. These modified elevations
will be used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings and their contents.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are
indicated on the table below and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMs) in effect for the listed communities prior to this date.
ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard
Identification Section, Emergency Preparedness and Response
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2903.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed below for the modified BFEs for
each community listed. These modified elevations have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since
that publication. The Mitigation Division Director of the Emergency
Preparedness and Response Directorate has resolved any appeals
resulting from this notification.
The modified BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this rule includes the address of the Chief Executive Officer
of the community where the modified BFE determinations are available
for inspection.
The modifications are made pursuant to section 206 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required to either adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
These modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management
criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
[[Page 51376]]
These modified BFEs are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these
elevations are made final, and for the contents in these buildings.
The changes in BFEs are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Mitigation Division Director of the
Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate certifies that this
rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
because modified base flood elevations are required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are required to
maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory flexibility
analysis has been prepared.
Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
Executive Order 12612, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612,
Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
